About this map

Manatawny and the surrounding Berks County landscape are defined by a network of small valley settlements and watercourses at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The southern portion of the quadrangle is anchored by the Pleasantville Covered Bridge crossing Manatawny Creek, while the village of Lobachsville sits near the Saint Pauls Cemetery. The geography is characterized by the winding paths of Sacony Creek and Pine Creek, which supported early industry as evidenced by the Mensch Mill Dam and the community at Landis Store.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous documented burial grounds, including Hill Church Cemetery and the Christ DeLong United Church of Christ Cemetery. To the northeast, the terrain rises toward Topton Mountain and Doe Mountain Ski Area, featuring prominent landmarks like Rittenhouse Gap and Gap Hill. The map preserves the placement of crossroads hamlets such as Five Points, Sally Ann, and Henningsville, reflecting the region's enduring rural character.
